Hey there,

I seem to have gotten a error message after installing spore. Not found: GL:5626 http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo...eat=directlink

I checked out every aspect of my computer to see if it was a compatability issue, and it looks like thats not what it is.
Im running vista home premium 64bit and have checked and other people using my same OS seem to run spore fine.

The game seems to install fine, etc. but when it finishes it doesn't give me the option to run the game, only to check the checkbox next to 'open readme'. It doesnt place a shortcut on my desktop or create a 'spore creatons' folder in my documents. Instead i have to go digging in the folders of Vista to find SporeApp.
The odd thing is, i had gotten the same error message after installing it on a XP machine aswell, however on that computer it installs the shortcut.

Because of this i'm unsure whether it is a problem with the computers or a problem with the disc. If it is the latter i would be fine buying a new copy, however if it was the former i don't know what to do. The computer i used to run spore on was less powerful and just as old as the XP computer i get the error message on. and if it is a problem with Vista 64bit then why are so many other people able to run spore, some even better than on a XP or 32bit OS, and i am not?
